Apple Picking

It's that time of year again. We went on our annual apple picking outing. This time it was just me and the kids. (If you can remember that we went when Eli was a baby and last year with some friends.) We had fun stomping through the wet, dewy grass looking for the perfect apple. The sun was shining and the weather was perfect. I love picking apples at Lynd's because you can reach all of the apples without a ladder and the kids can help too. We picked suncrisp and maltose apples and they are all gigantic and delicious! The kids had strict orders to only pick apples that were on the trees and that they should make sure that there weren't any black spots or holes.Eli was very very picky about choosing the perfect apple. He even threw some of mine out because they had small brown spots!Sadie wasn't so much into picking apples, just eating them. She ate one apple all day long. Eli kept taking one bite out of the apples and then he would tell me that he's going to "save this one for later" and then find another one to eat. We had to have a talk about being wasteful... We ended the morning by going on a wagon ride pulled by a John Deere.
